Awesome graphic. Not sure I'd wear it on a shirt, if that's what you have in mind...

[madmat]

I like it...I think it'd make a good mascott graphic for the team.

[Lincoln]

Ditto keto's thoughts :)

If that was the idea, I could see the dog chillin' on short-media like it is there, but without "snuffie fold for" and then add "Folding Team" under the banner.

Great mascot idea!

[Shorty]

Awesome :D

I concur with the others... can I have a .psd or something as well please.. for future banner stuff :vimp:

:respect: totally to DogSoldier.. that is truly amazing skills!

[MediaMan]

Definitely will have to add that one to a downloadable ICON for anyone who wants to use it. May make a good wallpaper element too!

[a2jfreak]

I've seen DogSoldier do some awesome stuff before, and this is no exception.

I do feel the same as keto, though, in that I'm not diggin' it for a shirt.
Also, the SHORTMEDIA looks a little too "soft." Awesome work, though--as always--DogSoldier! Fantastic stuff!

[profdlp]

Awesome work, DogSoldier. :respect:

Looks like Snuffie had a little Botox before the photoshoot - not nearly as wrinkly as I've seen him. :vimp:

[Al_Capown]

Nice. Very very nice. Might want to add a little team 93 or #93 in there.

[Geeky1]

It looks great, but as much as I like Prime's dog (and I DO like Snuffie, even if I do give Prime a hard time about teh wrinkles), can't we have a more exciting mascot?

Like <a href="http://freespace.virgin.net/clive.walker1/images/smg-buffy.jpg">Buffy</a>?

Or, if we can get away from the "rhymes with 'Snuffie'," there's gotta be something on www.desktopgirls.com that we can all agree on... :) ;D

[profdlp]

Well, now we know who couldn't get a date on Saturday night... ;D

besides me... :rolleyes:

[Animal]

really good picture.... but snuffie?

[panzerkw]

Snuffie got :Pwned: by a pussycat. So now that he's our mascot....what does that say about the rest of us? :eek3:

[Gargoyle]

Beautiful graphic, and much cooler than old Spudz. :D

But Snuffie? Snuffie? C'mon, this dog cures diseases and takes names, it needs a more intimidating name. People are going to drop in for the first time, looking for information on making their NF7-S a 1337 overclockar, and they're going to be greeted by... Snuffie. :D

[Lincoln]

Wasn't Snuffie the name of the Snuffulumpagus on Seasame Street? The big furry elephant? That thing coulda squashed Elmo or one of those fakely-gleeful kids in one motion ;D

Um, snuffie-- uses nose sense a lot, uses input to decide what to do, he computes. Computrs are artificial logic machines that reflect human skill in design, dog is natural smell processor and most dogs have better noses than vision. dogs use what is strongest sense most often. Computers use logic to make work get done faster.

Dogs think, though not at human level, and computers think, but use math which is what they are coded and hardwired to use.

How is a dog like a computer??? Both use what they have as best as they can.

Does snuffie sniff out trouble??? Yep.

Do human techs who make careers fo trobleshooting have to be able to sniff it out??? Yep, take a malfing-- badly malfing-- PSU. The chemicals inside caps give off odors when caps leak. Smoke carries odors. ICs that burn up give off noxious odors.

Dog uses smell more than sight, but is a reminder that smells mean something even in IT. big nose emphasizes point. HE looks ugly to some, but to some folks our favorite playtoy (computer) looks ugly too because they do not understand why and in how many ways things can malf. Ugly is in eye of beholder. See what the things you have do best, use them for that. Snuffie is a sharpie at smelling. Techs need to use senses and experiment and see what happens to learn. Now if the white SHORT had a circuitboard background, logo would be complete.... :D

Dogs also lick their genitals.

Dogs also lick their genitals.

HAHAHAHAH OMG ;D ;D

[QCH]

Long live Snuffie...

[Jimborae]

Me loves Snuffie ;)

[madmat]

Actually dogs can and do think on a nearly human level. A dog can understand up to close to 200 words which is pretty good for an animal that can't even speak.
I used to know what their IQ was compared to ours but I can't remember it (this is approximated from scientific study) but I think it was pretty close to 40 or so.

[Shorty]

I put in the header for the day.. as we have just passed 1000 members and 100,000 posts.. tis not a permanent addition ;)

[Geeky1]

I actually like it, but the transition is too abrupt. It looks like two separate images (which would be because it is...)

If the header had the "complete" dog it would look pretty good.

Just something to think about if you make it permanent :)

[Shorty]

Its not permanent.. just a bit of fun for the day :)

[madmat]

:( Awwwww...

[DogSoldier]

lol, thanks guys. It wasn't a really big jump to see Snuffie as a cartoon mascot, I mean.. c'mon, look at him!. I'll send you the psd Shorty.
